- Set your calipers to a measurement of 110mm and lock it using the thumb screw.
- Using the calipers as pictured place the “depth probe” end at the top of the hot end, gently pull the filament tight against the calipers.
- Using the marker, mark the filament at 110mm, It should be in line with the top of the depth probe.
